ENGLISH	OTHER FUNCTIONS
	The Marantz RC-18SR includes the ability to tailor the lighting
	features according to your preferences. As supplied from the
	factory, the RC-18SR has lighting features (and lighting timings):
	The lighting time is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds
	which you can change if you prefer a different lighting time. If you
	wish to maximize battery life, you can de-active the lighting
	function entirely.
	There is also a lighting button ¤0, so that in any light situation, you
	can activate the backlighting feature. The lighting time in this case
	is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds, which you can also
	change. If you wish to conserve battery power, you can de-
	activate the lighting function entirely.
	RC-5 Shipped destination:
	As mentioned earlier in this guide, the RC-18SR is provided with
	many commands from the factory with infrared codes conforming to
	the Philips RC-5 remote control language (used by Marantz, Philips,
	and some other companies). We have provided two different RC-5
	command code sets in the RC-18SR, according to the local
	requirements of different markets and the different types of remote
	control codes used in those markets. One code set is for North
	American (USA) users, while the other code set is for REST users.
	Your RC-18SR has been set at the factory for USA (United States)
	codes. It can be easily changed, if you wish.

Set-Up:

To change the lighting time(s), or the destination setting, please follow these steps:

nSelect the SETUP mode, by holding the MEMO button ⁄3and at the same time pressing the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄6. (see Figures 26 and 27)

LAMP - Lighting function ON or OFF and TIME

Press the D-5 direct function button, and you can then set the time (in seconds) directly using the numeric key pad ⁄2buttons. A time figure consisting of only 1 digit can be input by pressing the figure then waiting for 2 seconds or input “0” before entering a desired digit. You can set time in the range from 0 up to 60 seconds (More time would use up more battery life than fewer seconds). “2” is set when shipped from the factory. To set “OFF” input “0”.

BEEP sound

The beep sounds when any buttons are pressed except the AMP button.

The beep sound level can be set by pressing the D-6button. The display indicates “+” indication and the beeps are sounded by pressing the D-6button. The “+” indication is followed, by another the “+” indication as the beep sound is increased; + → ++ → +++ → ++++

When the “++++” appears, this is the maximum. If the D-6button is pressed once more, it will reset to OFF.

“” is indicated in the LCD window when the beep sound is set.

Note:

The beep sound is different between the function buttons and other buttons.

VER

Press the D-7direct function button to switch between USA and REST.

If you need to change this function, we recommend that you make the change before you begin “learning” any new infrared codes for other brands of equipment in your system.

Note:

The name of the DIRECT buttons will be erased if the USA/REST version is pressed.

Battery life:

nBattery life will vary from user to user, if the remote is used constantly or only occasionally, including the amount of backlighting usage. We feel that you can expect the batteries to last about 4 months, based upon 15 remote control operations per day (every day), and 3 lighting operations per day (every day). If the remote is used more often, and if the lighting times are set to longer times than the factory settings, then the battery life may be shortened somewhat.

nAs explained earlier in the guide, the RC-18SR’s sophisticated battery conservation system will advise you long before the battery power is fully exhausted, and will further warn you to replace the batteries by simply becoming inoperative at a certain point. The customized memory contents and user-adjusted settings will still be retained in memory. When you install a fresh set of batteries, the memory contents are protected always, because the RC-18SR uses the non-volatile memory. Alkaline (and the newer lithium) types are recommended for longest battery life.

As you become more familiar over time with how you are using the RC-18SR in your A/V system, you may wish to consider reducing the lighting time(s) if possible, as this can help to extend the battery life.

Adjustment of the LCD contrast

nThe LCD contrast can be adjusted as follows;

Enter SETUP mode of the RC-18SR by pressing the MEMO and OK button. Press the VOL+ to increase the LCD contrast. Press the VOL - to decrease the LCD contrast. Press the OK button to end this setting and return the original operation.
